First of all, I would like to thank captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri for their support for Dhoni’s playing in 350 ODIs and participating in the 2019 World Cup.
If Dhoni was able to play in 350 matches then of course the support of captain Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri helped. Both had the support of Dhoni till the end of his cricketing career. Dhoni had a lot of support from Kohli and Ravi Shastri. That is why even at the age of 38 he was able to play in the 2019 World Cup and participate in 350 matches.
So it is very important to have such support in the team, but not every player in Indian cricket gets this support.
Gautam Gambhir, Harbhajan Singh, Virender Sehwag and VVS Laxman, for example, always had a knife hanging over their heads when they played. There was an environment where they were eliminated from the team even if they did not play properly in some matches. It is also difficult to play better in all competitions.
Harbhajan Singh, Sehwag, VVS Laxman, Gautam Gambhir and I did not get enough support in the team. If you lose quickly, you will know that you will be removed from the team with a knife hanging over your head. So focus on batting and perform better. Forgiveness is not the same thing. Each coach took each position. The situation is different after 2011
Thus said Yuvraj Singh
Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh recently said in an interview, “Sehwag in the 2015 World Cup, Dhoni dropped me a few more players. When asked the reason we were told it was old. But was Dhoni not 38 years old when he played in the World Cup? ”
